alleryStart learning →Two operations from different transactions conflict if
Athey belong to the same transaction
Bthey access different data items
Cthey are both reads of the same data item
Dsame data item, at least one is a write
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. same data item, at least one is a write
**The standard definition of conflict:** same item AND at least one write.
Two reads on the same item don't conflict because their order doesn't change the outcome.
Same-transaction operations are not considered conflicts in this framework.
Different items means no shared state to fight over.
